Most parent questions and concerns are best handled by the Site Director at the location where your child attends camp. You will receive their contact information (email address and phone number) in your “welcome email” prior to the first day of camp. In the event the Site Director is not available, please contact Program Management. Please use the following directory as a guide for contacting Charlottesville Parks & Recreation staff:

All campers are required to wear a mask or face covering

1. while attending camp or a camp function in any recreation center, school building, facility, or other areas of a school campus or recreation center, including at the time of camp entry and exit; 
2. on an approved trip at any location; and 
3. when riding in camp-provided transportation.

Campers may remove masks and face coverings while eating or drinking during breakfast and lunch. Campers may not be required to wear masks during certain physical activities that include running and athletics.

A nutritious breakfast and lunch will be provided for each camper through the USDA Summer Food Service Program at no additional charge. If for any reason your child is unable to eat the meal provided by the program, it will be necessary for you to provide your child with lunch. You may also choose to pack your own lunch. Campers must arrive by 10:00 AM to be included in the lunch count.

School bus transportation will not be provided to and from camp. We will send an announcement via email to registered participants if we are able to provide transportation in the future.

Due to COVID-19, buses have a limited capacity and transportation is only available for City Residents that have no other way to get to camp. You must indicate if your child will need transportation during enrollment by responding to the prompt. The summer camp bus route will not be available until closer to the start of the first week of camp. The bus route will be emailed to the address that is listed on the primary member’s account in WebTrac and posted on our website as soon as it is available.

Camp will run from 7:30 am - 5:30 pm. The hours between 7:30 - 9:00 am and 4:00 - 5:30 pm are designated pick up and drop off periods. These times include unstructured playtime. Campers will have breakfast at 9:00 am and then start scheduled activities for the day.

We are following Covid-19 guidelines from CDC and Charlottesville City Schools. Please refer to the Parent Handbook for more information on health screenings and other precautions.

• Authorization is valid for 5 days without a physician’s signature.
• Pain relief medication and/or medication needed longer than 5 days will require a physician’s signature.
